Schism shall be at an End and cease for ever Many Things that are innocent lawful and laudable which have soul Marks and black Characters stampt and fixe upon 'em here they shall be perfectly purified and fully cleansed from there where at one View more shall be known of them than by all wrangling Debates and eager Disputes or by reading all Polemical Books concerning them here I greatly deplore and bewail the greedy Appetite and insatiable Thirst that professing Protestants have after the Blood of their Brethren and the high pleasure they take in the Effusion thereof But what will not Men do when they are either judicially blinded or their secular worldly Interest insensibly insinuates and winds it self into their Religion is so twisted and incorporated with it that it animates and acts it is the Life and Soul the vital Form and Power and made wholly subservient thereunto My Lord Jefferies after he had left Bristol being come to the King to give an Account of his Affairs in the West the Great Seal being to be disposed of by the Death of the late Keeper he kiss'd the King's Hand for it and was made Lord Chancellour which was only an Earnest of his Desert for so eminent and extraordinary a piece of Service so now that which remains is to give an Account of divers that had fled and hid themselves up and down in Holes and Privacies whose Friends made all Application to some great Men or other to procure their Pardons some to this and others to such as they thought Favourites of the King but the Rewards must be ascertain'd before any Application could be made Divers Lists being sent up and the Rewards ascertained which amongst many of them put together did amount to considerable so that it was now who could find a Friend to relieve his distressed Relations which were forced to wander up and down in Caves and Desarts for fear of being taken But this Misfortune attended the Agents that unless my Lord Chancellour were used by his Creatures that were allowed by him so to do other Applications commonly met with Disappointments which caused an Emulation among the great Men one supposing to have deserted the King's Ear as well as the other which caused other Measures to be taken though some were wheedled out of their Money At last came out a General Pardon with Exceptions very few if any of those that were sollicited for not being excepted were of Course pardoned but however divers Sums of Money having been paid no Restitution to be had for from Hell is no Redemption A Western Gentleman's Purchase came to fifteen or sixteen hundred Guineas which my Lord Chancellour had Amongst the Exceptions were a Parcel of Yaunton Girls some of which were Children of eight or ten Years old however something was to be made of them if these Ladies were judged guilty of Treason for presenting the Duke of Monmouth with Colours c. and for to preserve these from Trial they were given to Maids of Honour to make up their Christmas Box so that an Agent of theirs was sent down into the Country to compound with their Parents to preserve them from what might after follow if taken so that some according to Ability gave 100 l. others 50 l. all which however did not answer the Ladies first Expectations yet it did satisfie and they were accordingly pardoned Thus we have given you an Account of what hath happened on this Occasion being in every Point Truth We might have farther enlarged but that would have spoiled the Design and swoln our Pocket-Companion to a Volume too big We shall therefore next proceed to give you a true and exact List of all them that were condemned and suffered in the West and the Year 1685. under the Sentence of my Lord Chief Justice Jeffreys with the Names of the Towns where every Man was executed Lyme 12.

I have done his Will tho' it does cross Man's Will and the Scriptures that satisfie me are Isa 16. 4. Hide the Outcasts bexray not him that wandereth And Obad. 13 14. Thou shouldst not have given up those of his that escape in the Day of his Distress But Man says You shall give them up or you shall dye for it Now who to obey judge ye So that I have Cause to rejoyce and be exceeding glad in that I suffer for Righteousness sake and that I am accounted worthy to suffer for Well doing and that God has accepted any Service from me which has been done in Sincerity tho' mixed with manifold Infirmities which he hath been pleased for Christ's sake to cover and forgive And now as concerning my Fact as it is called alas it was but a little one and might well become a Prince to forgive but he that sh ws no Mercy shall find none And I may say of it in the Language of Jonathan I did but taste a little Honey and lo I must die for it I d●d but relieve an unworthy poor distressed Family and lo I must dye for it Well I desire in the Lamb-like Gospel-Spirit to forgive all that are concerned and to say Lord lay it not their Charge but I fear he will not Nay I believe when he comes to make Inquisition for Blood it will be found at the Door of the furious Judge who because I could not remember Things through my Dauntedness at Burton's Wife 's and Daughter's Vileness and my Ignorance took Advantage thereat and would not hear me when I had called to mind that which I am sure would have invalidated their Evidence tho' he granted something of the same Nature to another yet denyed it to me My Blood will also be found at the Door of the unrighteous Jury who found me Guilty upon the single Oath of an out-lawed Man for there was none but his Oath about the Money who is no legal Witness though he be pardoned his Out-lawry cannot be recalled and also the Law requires two Witnesses in point of Life And then about my going with him to the Place mentioned 't was by his own Words before he was Out-lawed for 't was two Months after his absconding and tho' in a Proclamation yet not High Treason as I have heard so that I am clearly murdered by you And also Bloody Mr. A. who has so insatiably hunted after my Life and though it is no Profit tlo him through the ill Will he bore me left no Stone unturned as I have ground to believe till he brought it to this and shewed favour to Burton who ought to have dyed for his own Fault and not bought his Life with mine and Capt. R. who is cruel and severe to all under my Circumstances and did at that time without all Mercy or Pity hasten my Sentence and held up my Hand that it might be given all which together with the Great One of all by whose Power all these and a Multitude more of Cruelties are done I do heartily and freely forgive as against me but as it is done in an implacable Mind agaigst the Lord Christ and his righteous Cause and Followers I leave it to him who is the Avenger of all such Wrongs who will tread upon Princes as upon Mortar and be terrible to the Kings of the Earth And know this also that though ye are seemingly fixt and because of the Power in your Hand are writing out your Violence and dealing with a despight●ul Hand because of the old and new Hatrred by impovering and every way distressing those you have got under you yet unless you can secure Jesus Christ and all his Holy Angels you shall never do your Business nor your Hands accomplish your Enterprizes for he will be upon you e'er you are aware and therefore O that you would be wise instructect and learn is the Desire of her that finds no Mercy from you Elizabeth Graunt The Earl of Argyle WE must now take a Step over into Scotland that poor Country which has been harass'd and tired for these many Years to render them perfect Slaves that they might help to enslave England to prevent which and secure the Protestant Religion which 't was grown impossible to do but by Arms this good Lord embarkt from Holland about the same Time with the Duke and arrived in Scotland with what Forces he could make to which were added some others who joined him which after several Marches and Counter-marches were at length led into a Boggy sort of a Place on Pretence or with Intention to bring him off from the other Army then upon the Heels of 'em where they lost one another dispersed and shifted for themselves the Earl being taken by a Country-man and brought to Edinburgh where he suffered for his former unpardondable Crime requiring Care should be taken of the Protestant Religion and explaining his taking the Test conformable thereto for the Legality of which he ha● the Hands of the most eminent Lawyers about the City He suffered at Edinburgh the 30th of June 1685. His Speech has a great deal of Piety and Religion nor will it be any Disgrace to say 't was more like a Sermon 'T is as follows The Earl of Argyle's last Speech June 30. 1685. JOB tells us Man that is born of a Woman is of few Days and full of Trouble and I am a clear instance of it I shall not say thing of my Sentence or Escape about three years and a half ago nor of my Return lest I may thereby give Offence or be too tedious Only being to end my Days in your Presence I shall as some of my last Words assert the Truth of the Matter of Fact and the Sincerity of my Intentions and Professions that are published That which I intend mainly now to say is To express my humble and I thank God chearful Submission to his Divine Will and my Willingness to forgive all Men even my Enemies and I am heartily well sati●fied there is no more Blood spilt and I shall wish the Stream may stop at me And that if it please God as to Zerubbabel Zech. 4. 6. Not by Might nor by Power but by my Spirit saith the Lord of Hosts I know Afflictions spring not out of the Dust God did wonderfully deliver and provide for me and has now by his special Providence brought me to this Place and I hope none will either insult or stumble at it seeing they ought not for God Almighty does all Things well for Good and holy Ends tho' we not always understand it Love and Hatred is not known by what is before us Eccles 9. 1. 8. 11 12 13. Afflictions are not only foretold but promised to Christians and are not only tolerable but desirable We ought to have a deep Reverence and Fear of God's Displeasure but withal a Hope and Dependance on him for a blessed Issue in Compliance with his Will for God chastens his own to
